ASSET MAP: @image1 — PERSON_A, present-day, exactly as shown. Photocopy face, hair, skin, age, teal athletic top and gold necklaces from the still. @image2 — the old photograph containing PERSON_B. PERSON_B’s identity, age and appearance come only from that photo. CHARACTER LOCK — HIGHEST PRIORITY: PERSON_A’s face, hairstyle, skin tone, build and apparent age must stay exactly as shown in @image1 throughout. PERSON_B, once animated, must stay exactly the person shown in @image2 — their exact facial features, apparent age (whatever age the photo shows — elderly, do not change it), skin tone, hair and expression range, preserved from the photo. Do not beautify, de-age, age up, or restyle either person. Preserve each person’s gender presentation exactly as shown. No other people enter the scene. Whenever this text and either reference image disagree, follow the image. RESTRAINED PHOTO-WAKING RULE: PERSON_B begins completely still, exactly as printed in @image2 — aged photo texture, tone and grain visible. Their first movements are small and natural only: a soft blink, a faint warm smile, gentle breathing, the smallest head tilt. Do not give PERSON_B fast or large head turns or exaggerated motion before they have fully stepped out of the photo plane — abrupt motion on a photographic likeness distorts the face. Only after they have visibly left the frame do they move naturally and fully. 16:9. TOTAL DURATION: 12 SECONDS. OPENING: already in the room with PERSON_A and the framed print. Never a studio headshot as frame 0. 0-3s: Static establishing shot. PERSON_A stands or sits calmly, holding or seated beside a framed print of the old photo showing PERSON_B — visibly aged, grain, faded tone, slightly worn paper texture. Quiet, still, a little anticipatory. Camera holds completely still. Natural indoor or soft outdoor lighting that makes both PERSON_A and the framed photo look like they belong in the same room. 3-6s: Inside the frame, PERSON_B gently comes to life — a soft blink, a faint warm smile forming, gentle breathing, the smallest natural head tilt. The old photo’s color and depth slowly warm and deepen, the flat printed texture gradually giving way to living dimension, without changing PERSON_B’s identity, age or appearance. PERSON_A notices, their expression shifting to quiet wonder. 6-10s: PERSON_B steps out of the photo’s plane into PERSON_A’s space. They reach out and gently cup PERSON_A’s cheek in one hand, smiling warmly and studying their face as if seeing them for the first time in years. PERSON_A closes their eyes for a moment, leaning slightly into the touch, a small emotional breath escaping. No embrace, no words — just the gesture held for a beat. 10-12s: PERSON_A opens their eyes and meets PERSON_B’s gaze, both smiling softly. Camera slowly pushes in a few inches, or holds steady. CINEMATIC STYLE: Soft natural or warm indoor light, gentle handheld micro-movement, shallow depth of field, live-action realism — preserve real skin texture and imperfections on PERSON_A; PERSON_B’s texture may echo the photo’s grain slightly even once alive, as a subtle visual signature that they came from the photograph. No subtitles. No on-screen text or watermark. Hands have five fingers each, anatomically correct.

An exactly 15-second retro-futurist documentary film, 16:9 horizontal, genuine 1970s archival news footage of a rocket landing — except the rocket is a residential apartment block. Multi-shot, hard cuts. LOOK: aged 16mm colour film. Heavy fine grain, slight gate weave and flicker, faded period colour — washed cyan sky, warm yellowed concrete, muted reds and browns. Soft optics, mild chromatic fringing, occasional dust on the emulsion. Long telephoto, heat shimmer. Handheld drifts, a refocus hunt, a late pan. Never smooth, never a drone, never CGI-clean. SUBJECT: ordinary six-storey 1970s apartment block — pale yellow-cream render, concrete balconies two sides, standard windows, a small shopfront with an awning on the ground floor, washing lines with laundry. Residents on the balconies, period clothing, calm, leaning on railings watching the ground come up. Beneath the flat concrete underside a single intense rocket landing plume — focused white-orange flame with visible shock diamonds, like an orbital booster landing burn. No legs, no fins, no machinery. It descends on the flame. CROWD: a few dozen ordinary people, all ages, 1970s summer clothes — patterned dresses, short-sleeved shirts, high-waisted trousers — on a wide concrete apron, seen from behind, looking up. Period cars at the edges. Curious and excited, never frightened, never fleeing. PHYSICS: enormous real mass. Slow descent, smooth deceleration. Exhaust blasts a huge rolling dust cloud on contact. Real flame, real dust, real weight. AUDIO: distant compressed rocket roar on a single microphone, building. Bass rumble through the ground. Dust crackle. At touchdown the engine cuts dead — one full second of near silence, only wind. Then applause, whistles, cheering, a car horn. No music, no narration, no score. SHOT 1 | 0.0-3.0s. Extreme long lens, high in a hazy pale sky. The apartment block descends slowly, upright and level, plume burning beneath, heat distortion. Camera drifts and corrects. Tiny figures on the balconies. SHOT 2 | 3.0-6.0s. HARD CUT to ground level, behind the crowd. Dozens from behind, shielding eyes, some pointing. The building comes down into frame, growing, roar building. Period cars and low buildings at the edges. SHOT 3 | 6.0-9.0s. The plume strikes the concrete apron. Enormous dust cloud rolls toward camera. Crowd braces, clothes and hair blown back, a few turning faces away, one hat lifting. Building fills the upper half, still descending. SHOT 4 | 9.0-12.0s. Through thinning dust the building settles onto the concrete, takes its weight with a deep shudder. Plume cuts out instantly. Silent and still. Dust hangs. Nobody moves. SHOT 5 | 12.0-15.0s. Dust clears. The block stands ordinary, as if it had always been there — laundry still hanging, gently swaying. One long beat of stillness. Then the crowd bursts into applause, arms up, residents on balconies wave back. Final: the building among the applauding crowd, dust settling, laundry swaying, faded 1970s film colour. Hold. NEGATIVE: no text, no captions, no logos, no brand names, no company markings, no readable signage. No modern clothing, no smartphones, no modern cars, no drone, no gimbal, no CGI gloss. No fire damage, no explosion, no collapse, no debris striking anyone, no injuries, no panic, no one running. Building never tilts, never wobbles, never falls. No landing legs, no fins, no visible rocket nozzles.

30-second 4:3 photoreal fantasy cinematic. @image1 is the rider’s face. @image2 is the storyboard — photocopy outfit, AMULET, and DRAGON from the board. Not sci-fi, not a spacecraft, not an EVA suit. Use they / their / them only. 0–3s: Extreme wide over a sea of clouds, sunrise. Camera through volumetric cloud. Tiny falling figure. 3–6s: They fall toward camera, rotate, stabilize. Face readable. 6–11s: Hands to chest, inspect a gold amulet, activate it, core glows. Light on their face. 11–16s: A gigantic dragon unfolds behind them in the clouds. Wings spread. Low-angle the dragon passes overhead. 16–22s: They sit at the dragon’s neck, flying. Clouds race. 22–27s: Dragon banks through snow-capped peaks at speed. 27–30s: Pull wide to sunset over the cloud ocean. Hold. No on-screen text. AUDIO: wind, wingbeats, amulet chime, no lyrics.

An exactly 15-second ultra-realistic cinematic dance performance film, 16:9. Hard cuts. Photoreal music-video. @image1 is the lead. Preserve her face exactly. High tight bun, long dark hair. Do not recast. @image2 is her wardrobe. Structured white strapless fashion top, dark navy high-waisted baggy jeans, black boots, chunky silver hoops. Same look every shot. Fully clothed.

Lead centre, both arms raised in a V. Eight dancers bowed at the waist in two mirrored lines. Starburst headlights. Hold. NEGATIVE: on-screen text, logos, brand names, music, extra limbs, face drift, changing clothes, looking into the lens, rain, fire, broken symmetry.

13-second 16:9 ultra-realistic cinematic fight in a messy urban apartment/studio: books, posters, scattered furniture, warm lamps, cool daylight through large windows. @image1 is absolute character truth for person 1. @image2 is absolute character truth for person 2. Photocopy both sheets. Do not describe appearance. Use they / their / them only. 0–2s: Wide establishing the whole room. @image1 swings a long wooden object. @image2 blocks and dodges. 2–8s: Fast believable choreography — blocks, punches, grapples, shoves. Handheld, wide / medium / low / impact close-ups. Camera shake, motion blur, both faces readable. 8–11s: A powerful takedown. One of them hits the floor. 11–13s: The other remains standing in the foreground, breathing, defensive stance. Dramatic hold. Room stays the same. No cartoon physics. No on-screen text. AUDIO: impacts, breath, room tone, no lyrics.

Photoreal cinematic lifestyle shopping commercial, warm natural light, premium grade, horizontal. Lead is @image1 (identity locked, exact face/hair, two hands). Hero product is exactly @image2 (same shape/colour/details, never changing). @image1 stays fully dressed in a complete neutral everyday outfit with ordinary closed shoes on at all times, never barefoot; whatever @image2 is — a top, jacket, trousers, bag, shoes or accessory — it is added onto that complete outfit while every other garment and both shoes stay on and neutral. 0-4s home: @image1 with mug + smartphone. 4-8s over-shoulder: phone shows a clean shopping app with the @image2 product, thumb taps buy. 8-12s macro beauty shot of the @image2 product rotating. 12-16s @image1 opens a parcel and lifts out the exact @image2 product. 16-20s @image1 puts on or uses @image2 at a mirror, fully dressed with shoes on, satisfied. 20-26s @image1 walks a city street with @image2, phone in hand, three-quarter angle, tracking dolly, wearing the complete outfit and shoes. 26-30s confident final beat holding on @image1 with @image2. Let each beat play out fully and finish its action before the next; ONE continuous coherent commercial, smooth motivated transitions, no abrupt cut to an unrelated or random scene mid-action; @image1 identity consistent; @image2 identical every shot. Realistic fabric and small-object physics, exactly two hands. SOUND: upbeat warm commercial music bed + soft foley (mug, tap, parcel rustle, footsteps, city ambience); no spoken dialogue, no invented language. Negative: product not matching @image2 or its colour/shape changing; @image1 identity, face or hair changing; a third hand, extra arm, more than two hands, extra or missing fingers; bare feet, barefoot, missing or a single shoe, partially undressed, or wearing only the product with nothing else; describing other garments in words beyond the outfit and footwear lock; on-screen captions, subtitles or watermark; a scene cutting off mid-action or jumping to a random unrelated scene; any character vanishing, dissolving, fading or teleporting into thin air — every exit is physical; plastic or airbrushed skin.
